Ich denke das gibt ein wenig Gesprächsstoff > <translation> Zug has issued the first judgement against the anti-spam law. They based it on the criteria that an opt-out link alone is sufficient. The arguments that the plaintiff neither agreed [to receive the e-mails] nor had a business relation [with the company] were ignored.
Who is interested can [check] the judgement himself at http://www.pop.ch/urteil.pdf. I think this gives matter to discussion. </translation> I think it's a bit more complex that "an opt-out link alone is sufficient" : - the company was aware of the new "anti-spam provisions", and like many other sent an e-mail before April 1st saying basically "by not unsubscribing you agree to receive further e-mails" - the company provided valid contact details, and a working opt-out mechanism Probably the judgment would have been different if they had started spamming you after April 1st, or if they had used fake sender address etc. Regards, Alexandre _______________________________________________ swinog mailing list [email protected] http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
